What we supply
Robot-Based Sortation Systems, from Compact to Full-Size
TTF TECH supplies automated sortation systems in which sorting robots, induction stations and barcode and weight scanning identify each parcel and deliver it to the right destination. Choose a compact unit for smaller operations or a full-size system that grows by adding robots and destinations.

Challenges
Sorting Problems an Automated System Helps Solve
Manual sorting slows down as order volume grows and depends on people reading labels correctly. A robot-based sortation system scans every parcel and routes it automatically, so sorting keeps pace with volume without adding the same number of sorters.
Sorting cannot keep up at peak
A full-size system sorts 1,500 or more pieces per hour.
Parcels sent to the wrong destination
Each parcel is checked by barcode and weight before it is routed.
Hard to hire and keep sorters
Operators work at induction; robots do the walking.
Limited floor space
The compact model fits in about 5.6 m × 2.6 m.
Destinations keep changing
The modular layout can be reconfigured and extended.

Options
Find the Right Sortation Configuration
Automated sortation identifies each item and directs it to a defined destination. The right configuration depends on your item mix, peak volume, available space and dispatch process.

Comparison
Manual Sorting vs an Automated Sortation System
Manual sorting relies on people reading labels and walking parcels to the right cage. An automated sortation system scans each parcel and lets robots deliver it, which makes accuracy and throughput far less dependent on headcount.
| Factor | Manual sorting | Automated sortation system |
|---|---|---|
| How parcels are identified | Staff read the label | Barcode scan with weight check |
| How parcels reach the destination | Staff carry or push them | Sorting robots deliver them |
| Handling a volume peak | Add people or shifts | Add robots or destinations |
| Changing destinations | Re-arrange the floor and re-brief staff | Reconfigure the modular layout |
| Sorting record | Manual tally | Logged per parcel |
How it works
How an Automated Sortation System Works
- 1Induction
An operator or conveyor places each parcel on a sorting robot.
- 2Scan
The system reads the barcode and checks the weight.
- 3Route
The control software assigns a destination and a path.
- 4Sort
The robot travels to the destination and tips the parcel in.
- 5Return
The robot returns to induction for the next parcel and recharges on the system.
Layout, number of robots and software connection are specified per project with the equipment supplier.
